关于英语 (英国)（英文） 的问题

Does the phrase "Put your trousers on" literally mean what it sounds like or is it British Slang for something else? If so, what does it mean?

(I'm not greatly accustomed to British Slang). 是什么意思？

Well I’m not British (I’m Australian) so I can’t answer this exact question but the phrase “caught with your pants down” is used here. It means when you’re caught doing something you’re not meant to be doing lol

@Pinkdogs Thanks mate, I actually know that one.
I'm from New Zealand but have been away from home for yonks and I'm teaching kids English but at times the colloquial things go past my head or I have to ask as I'm not from the place said phrase comes from.

@andyl7 ahaha that’s cool. I don’t think I’ve ever really heard anything about slang in New Zealand. Is it very different to what’s in Australia? (If you know lmao)

I know how that feels. Even though I live here there’s always new colloquial words that come up and I feel super old having to google them 😂 it’s pretty hard keeping up with it.

@Pinkdogs Mate, I understand.
And I think there are a couple of things we say differently but overall, we're pretty similar.

Example, in NZ a water fountain is what Australians call bubbles.
